Man overboard – 08/01/2021 – 13:40 to 15:40

An inbound vessel broached while attempting to cross the Whakatane Bar,resulting in persons falling overboard. Other boats and Whakatane Rescue II responded and brought the people safely back into the Whakatane harbour for medical assessment and treatment. A big thank you to the good samaritans.
